Kennedy Park has been nominated for the Dalux Award 2026, alongside projects from around the world.

The nomination recognises more than the project itself. It reflects the collective work behind it, architects, engineers, consultants, contractors and technical partners all pushing the same ambition forward.

For A*M, Kennedy Park has been a testing ground for regenerative urban design: climate-led planning, circular thinking, low-carbon structures, landscape and public space designed as one system.

Now it’s up for a public vote.

Select Kennedy Park among your three favourite projects and validate your choice by email.

Voting closes 30 October 2026 at 12:00 PM.

What if the landscape came first, and the building followed?

That was the starting point for the Belval sports centre. The project grows from the ground up, quite literally, with the architecture placed beneath a continuous landscape rather than imposed on top of it.

Inside, the material palette picks up the mineral character of Luxembourg’s Terres Rouges: concrete, terracotta and acoustic fibres carry those deep red tones into the building, while low-carbon materials and carefully chosen construction systems reduce embodied carbon.

Landscape, structure, materiality: different scales, same origin.

At A*M, regenerative design doesn’t stop at the scale of the building. From urban planning to architecture, from interiors to furniture, the same question remains: how can we design today without compromising tomorrow?

This furniture piece explores Design for Disassembly. Designed to be fully knocked down, its components can be separated, recovered, reused and reassembled.

The object is no longer the end of the process. It becomes a temporary configuration of materials, ready for another use, another place, another life.

Designing for the future also means designing for change: anticipating transformation, disassembly and reuse, and treating materials not as products with a final destination, but as resources with several possible lives.

Regenerative design means designing what comes next.

The future Linklaters headquarters at Kennedy Park has received the LCBI Design Phase Label – Excellence, the highest level of certification.
The label recognises decisions made long before certification: reusing existing infrastructure, reducing embodied carbon through timber construction, shaping the façade with parametric tools to control solar exposure and daylight, and moving away from fossil fuels.

Low carbon as a design input.

At this scale, carbon performance is not something to verify at the end. It is embedded in the design process from the first decisions.

Measuring is part of designing.

Data, simulation and calculation are part of that process, from the façade to the district.

At Kennedy Park, the masterplan doesn’t begin with buildings. It begins with the forces already at work: landscape, movement, existing connections, urban lines, and the climate the district will have to live with.

Those conditions shape the plan itself: where views open, where crossings happen, how blocks break down, where public space expands, where planting cools, filters and reconnects.

Regenerative urban design starts before architecture becomes an object. It starts with the ground, the voids, the microclimate and the relationships between them.

At Kennedy Park, climate is not something to accommodate afterwards. It is one of the authors.

At SIBCA Paris, Sebastian Moreno-Vacca and Manon Meskens will open up the thinking behind A*M’s upcoming Manifesto: how a practice rooted in Passive House evolved towards regenerative architecture, and why designing with climate, nature and people changes much more than energy performance.

The talk, Architecture for the New World, travels through projects from São Paulo to Antarctica, via Brussels, Luxembourg, Lille and New York. Different climates, scales and constraints, but one recurring question: how can architecture become part of the repair rather than simply reduce the damage?

September 1 - 16:00-16:20
Salle Clémenceau, Grand Palais, Paris

A*M will also be at SIBCA from September 1-3, stand B20.

At The Marnix, light is treated as a material in its own right : something to shape, filter and work with.

Screens and partitions in wood, fabric, solids and voids let daylight travel deep into the interior while creating privacy, intimacy and acoustic comfort. The same elements become protection when the sun gets too intense, turning light into a tool for comfort rather than just atmosphere.

Regenerative interiors, never one-dimensional:

Design with climate.
Design with nature.
Design with people.

One summer day away from drawings, deadlines, and carefully calibrated square metres.
The A*M team stepped outside for an off-site built around less measurable things: playing, laughing, talking, and spending time together without a project agenda attached.

No performance indicators were harmed. Team spirit may have improved.

Architecture for 40°C.
With parts of Europe already facing a fifth heatwave this year, we did not expect to get such a violent glimpse of the climate we were designing for so soon.

At Kennedy Park, Luxembourg, we approached urban planning as climate planning — and climate as an urban language.

Wind, water and vegetation become materials of urban design, just as perspective, alignments, steel, stone or timber are. Albedo, effusivity and emissivity become material properties, just like colour, texture or symbolism. Convection and evapotranspiration become principles of composition.

The diagrams shown here are not simply climate analyses. They shaped the project. Urban breezes, shade, water, vegetation, solar exposure and material choices were used to design the microclimate itself.

We designed for two climates: today’s climate and the degraded climate projected for 2060 under SSP5-8.5.

Kennedy Park is conceived as Luxembourg’s first regenerative district: transforming an existing urban site and park, restoring landscape and biodiversity, and integrating low-carbon architecture.

Climate is no longer something architecture responds to.
It is something we design with.

At The Marnix, integrated furniture was not added after the architecture. It was designed as part of it.
Multimedia, acoustics, signage, storage, and everyday use are brought together in a coherent system that extends the building’s identity into its interiors. Each element can be dismantled, reused, and reconditioned, allowing the spaces to evolve without starting again from zero.

Fewer objects competing for attention. More architecture doing the work.
